Thank goodness his test results were good. The unknown and the worrying is so hard. My daughter had a liver transplant at 11 months. She's doing really well but it's hard not to worry. Congratulations on your newest addition. I'm sure Beckett and Zoe will be wonderful big siblings.Shani @ inspirednest.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10041560908111230715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256696736195687201.post-65926107283017853042010-07-26T23:01:15.931-07:002010-07-26T23:01:15.931-07:00Happy all is well and the tests are all good.

My daughter Ola is 14 weeks old, and it was confirmed four days after she was born that she had Down syndrome. Things are great with her, but I am dreading the blood work later on. I just finished my schooling to be a lab assistant (the blood taker!) 2 months before Ola was born, and now with having her go through so many tests and having to listen to her cry I don't know if I have it in me to ever do my job. Thanks for the updates, and hope you are well with baby #3!Poot & Boogiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443486872571215770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256696736195687201.post-63020585239215295292010-07-24T08:56:13.068-07:002010-07-24T08:56:13.068-07:00I'm happy to hear that all is well with Becket...I'm happy to hear that all is well with Beckett!

I too am a born worrier and have sat in that exact seat at the Children's lab with my daughter. Thankfully she is fine too. I am so glad to hear that Beckett is a happy and healthy growing little boy. I cant believe that he is almost 3, it seems like just yesterday he was born.. Happy early birthday to you little man, and big hugs!Robynhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14697167100831933025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256696736195687201.post-41729223790817215112010-07-23T20:01:15.550-07:002010-07-23T20:01:15.550-07:00...So Thankful that all is well.....Thank you for ......So Thankful that all is well.....Thank you for sharing!Vintage Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03754493456134583551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256696736195687201.post-84775384060477689522010-07-23T19:20:50.434-07:002010-07-23T19:20:50.434-07:00Thanks for your posts, Tamara.

I worked with some really awesome kids who happened to have Downs Syndrome as a high school/college kid (work experience and then summer camps) and I enjoyed myself as much or more than my campers. I really love your openness and advocacy and my children and I have watched each of your pregnancies and celebrated each birth with a peculiar Vancouver "ownership" and joy. You are the embodiment of style and grace.<br /><br />Sorry that Beckett has to go through those pokes, and you have to endure the stress of waiting. We (your local fans big and small) wait with you.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428202747324083680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256696736195687201.post-32711456017376937382010-07-23T18:53:01.626-07:002010-07-23T18:53:01.626-07:00He looks like the sweetest boy in the world!He looks like the sweetest boy in the world!A Wedding Storyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04441401561520914781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256696736195687201.post-27333796494395872232010-07-23T17:38:20.831-07:002010-07-23T17:38:20.831-07:00aw - what a trooper going through all that. he...aw - what a trooper going through all that. he'll be a strong boy i'm sure for having to endure it all. so hard as a parent too (i'm sure) to see him go through it.<br /><br /><br />: )Jan Halvarsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17783438439039979102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256696736195687201.post-24167696445805593952010-07-23T16:45:14.843-07:002010-07-23T16:45:14.843-07:00Bless your sweet boy....what a terribly stressful ...Bless your sweet boy....what a terribly stressful time. I am a peds nurse and used to work at Childrens---did you use some Emla/Ametop for Beckett's bloodwork??--it is a topical aneasthetic used for kids for bloodwork, IV starts and IM injections. It numbs the area and takes the "owie" away--we call it magic cream. Doesn't usually stop them from crying at this young age as it is the entire process that is scary for them, but it DOES keep them from feeling the poke. Then each time you go will get a little easier as Beckett (and you) won't associate the needle with an owie. Also, if you practice bubble blowing at home, then do it during the bloodwork telling him to "BLOW" the owie away that helps as well. I was blessed to work with Leora Kuttner who wrote "NO Tears, no Fears" during my time at BCCH and learned so much from her about helping kids to cope with painful procedures. The book is available at the BCCH family library.<br />Keep your chin up--your sweet, loving and caring nature is an inspiration to many. <br />xojanisRust: Vintage Inspired Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621477632793906441noreply@blogger.com
